Fancy a career change ...

Seems NASA is on the hunt for people with the "right stuff" to become astronauts. Applications close July 1, 2008. Possible job destinations include the International Space Station, and even the Moon. And what is the "right stuff" - well, a bachelor's degree in engineering, science or mathematics and three years of relevant professional experience is the right start. Or if you're an experienced teacher (kindergarten through to 12th Grade) you'll also be considered to be off on the right foot.
Successful applicants for NASA's first intake since 2004 will be announced early 2009 - to give time for the six-month interview and evaluation process. If you're interested you can get more details online: http://www.usajobs.gov or, if you're already in the US, or have a good international rate on your phone, call (281) 483-5907 for more information via NASA's Astronaut Selection Office.
